Gladys Knight and The Pips
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, July 1972
BELIEVE IT or not, this September marks the 20th anniversary of Gladys Knight and the Pips. Before you let your imagination run away with you, though, I would stress that Gladys was a mere child of eight years when the group was officially formed and that was back in their home town of Atlanta, Georgia.
